Support NeoGAF

Could this be the foundational GPU technology for the PlayStation 6? Mark Cerny's latest Project Amethyst update describes the building blocks of future graphics technology, with a strong focus on ray tracing and machine learning capabilities, along with bandwidth-enhancing features designed to reduce the need on massive memory controllers. John, Rich and Oliver discuss the tech and share more information from Mark Cerny via an email Q&A conducted in the wake of the video's publication.

They also mentioned that they did an email Q&A with Mark, so there may be more info than what was discussed in the original video.

GAF is featured in this video. K KeplerL2 is mentioned at 3:34 and 20:25

Is this the first time Sony has talked about a future console 2 years in advance?

 

[MrJangles]

I'm sorry but I just can't look at or listen to that Cerny bloke without thinking what a nonce.

Good brief discussion about things like the state of Bend Studios. Such a waste of resources.

PS3 was already confirmed in July 2004. NVIDIA developing the GPU was announced in December 2004.

 

[Caio]

I'll stay tuned, wanna see this in real games. I didn't buy PS5 PRO yet.

 

[LoveCake]

Interesting video, it is good that they were able to get a bit more information from Mark Cerny.

 

[Tobimacoss]

So the universal compression explains why PS6 Orion only has 160 bit bus.

Seems PS6 will have the full RDNA5 feature set this time.

Looks like they didn't have enough time to mention me.

You can have this win K KeplerL2

 

[lh032]

im really excited.
I know im overly optimistic, but perhaps these AI upscaling could probably eliminate 30fps or devs prioritize 60/120 fps in next gen

i almost had a heart attack when i saw my name pop up on a DF video

I know it's early but I don't really think they'll be a game with the ps6 launch I'll go I need the ps6 now.

We are rockstars now. Get used to it. Next stop - drugs and groupies. Then… the real heart attack

 

[kazuyamishima]

This bodes well for the portable.

My cousin may have made it to the NBA, but wait until I tell the family I have a Gaf account and post here regularly.

Yeah, but that memory bandwidth jump is still very small.

At the time when consoles stagnate with memory speed PC GPUs will be 2x or 3x faster in this aspect. Right now we have 600-800GB/s on mid range GPUs + L2 and L3 cache that helps bandwidth even more.

RDNA5 on PC will have L3 cache, 750-1000GB/s memory speed and new compression system. PS6 will just have new compression system...

 

[SplunkyMunkey]

Despite the newer tech in ps6 i still think its gonna hit its limit to the low bus speed
